Pachypodium Geayi. Madagascar Palm.
The Pachypodium Geayi is a very attractive and extraordinary succulent shrub or small tree. It has a tall silvery grey trunk covered with sharp thorns around 6cm long.The trunk may branch in more mature plants. Long, narrow grey-green leaves with a pinkish midrib only grow at the top of the trunk, similar to a palm tree, hence it’s common name’ Madagascar Palm’. The leaves are narrower than that of tha Pachypodium Lamerei. Large white fragrant flowers with yellow throats will develop at the top of the plants grown outdoors but they rarely flower on plants grown indoors.
